Meros is heartbroken. He loved New Zealand’s Prime-Minister Helen Clark but she ignored his attempts to woo her. In this scientific lecture, he proposes we must combat the dystopian control exercised by love, lust and marriage. We must privatise our loves and bodies! Richard Meros has specifically chosen activist and artist Heleyni Pratley to create the theatrical adaptation of this satirical novel. The show weaves Heleyni’s personal narrative of heartbreak, her own obsession with NZ’s most beloved Prime Minister Helen Clark, and her fascination with science and transhumanism to create a truly unique and personal adaptation of Privatising Parts. A satirical comment on our current culture of privatisation, the audience is invited into Heleyni’s science lab to witness her proposal for the world. Armed with a live webcam, a stack of YouTube evidence, dramatic use of science experiments and her best song and dance routines, Heleyni will prove to you that privatising love is the way forward for the world. “Privatising Parts is part manifesto, part hyperbolic free-associating ramble, and part one-woman, one-hour Mad Scene…cherry-picking from the Greatest Hits of Late-Capitalist Visioneering to concoct a blue-sky nightmare of privatized sexuality…buy in while you have the chance” The Wellingtonista
